Well, that was fun! @jonahkoetke.bsky.social presented interaction effects whereas @ivanenuel.bsky.social shows that regression results can be as horizontal as picture frames. Thanks to our fantastic audience for the enthusiastic discussion afterwards 🥰 #EASP2026

Intellectual Humility in Politics - @lknochelmann.bsky.social introduces the symposium now at #EASP2026: how does our awareness of our own intellectual limitations relate to how we perceive ourselves and others in politicized contexts?

✨The art of being wrong ✨ My friend & former colleague Lisa Hartke and my former PhD supervisor Christopher Cohrs have published a systematic review on promoting intellectual humility 🌱 Here's what I like about the publication ⬇️

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 3 YEAR POSTDOC in #SciComm research at @zpid.bsky.social! @kaisassenberg.bsky.social and me are searching for a postdoc with background in psychology or communication science. Own research ideas are welcome! Focus should be on societies' preparation for future pandemics. Please share!

Finally the 1-year embargo period is over for green open-access 🥳🥳🥳 Consider uploading your old paper as green OA, too. It makes articles more accessible for scholars whose universities do not have the means to pay for all journals :) Most journals allow it either immediately, or after an embargo.

"Verschlimmbesserung statt Reform: [...] der vorgelegte Referentenentwurf ist ein Ausdruck der eklatanten Geringschätzung wissenschaftlicher Arbeit sowie der zahlreichen konstruktiven Vorschläge, die die #IchBinHanna Debatte in den letzten fünf Jahren hervorgebracht hat" Couldn't agree more :(

Amrei Bahr@amreibahr.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Was das BMFTR mit dem #WissZeitVG vorhat, ist galaxienweit davon entfernt, die Bezeichnung "Reform" zu verdienen. Mehr dazu in der Stellungnahme von @drkeichhorn.bsky.social, @kubon.bsky.social & mir, heut exklusiv vorab (1 Tag vor Hannas 5. Geburtstag 🥹) im #ArbeitInDerWiss Newsletter! #IchBinHanna

The Ideology 2.0 dataset is now publicly accessible. 280,000 unique sessions, ~40 implicit measures, ~30 self-report items on the same topics as the implicit measures, 25 individual difference questionnaires, and dozens of individual self-report items. More: osf.io/2483h/overview

Brian Nosek@briannosek.bsky.social · 4y ago

Are you interested in ideology, morality, political psych, implicit and explicit measures, or individual differences? We are releasing a massive dataset (>280k sessions) with dozens of individual difference measures, implicit and explicit measures. 1/...

Having now read the new proposals for the #WissZeitVG, it is difficult to see what they hope to achieve by them beyond continuing the trend of forcing people who want to stay working in scholarship to leave Germany.

At #APS26BCN and don't know where to go on Saturday morning? Check out our symposium on ✨ Intellectual humility bridging socio-political divides✨ Featuring Tenelle Porter, @jonahkoetke.bsky.social, Lea Nahon & myself See you at 10:30🤘

The nicest thing about traveling to conferences by train is that you can stop by in beautiful places on your way - like Paris ☺️ #APS26BCN

Über 10 Millionen Männer im Alter zwischen 17-45 sind über diese neue Regelung völlig uninformiert. Von der ausgebliebenen politischen Debatte darüber ganz zu schweigen. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob das schon ähnlich vor 2011 galt, denn jetzt ist es definitiv neu und keiner weiß davon.

Bundeswehr: Männer bis 45 müssen Auslandsaufenthalt melden

Mit Jahresbeginn wurde für junge Männer eine verpflichtende Musterung eingeführt. Eine andere neue Regel wurde öffentlich kaum diskutiert. Sie betrifft potentiell sehr viele.

Hi, my name is Larissa Kn😲chelmann

@wagunyego.bsky.social shared her fresh work on remembrance and (re)appraisal of recent right-wing extremism and how it impacts political trust and justice-related satisfaction.

If you set out to test a hypothesis, you should preregister it. If you deviate from a preregistration, report a table with all deviations, and evaluate the consequences for the validity and severity of the test. As a reviewer, ask for such a table! online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

"To [...] address the call for falsifiable theories, we propose a formalized Expectancy-Value Model of Interpersonal Likability in Politics (EVIL-P)." Excited to read this in detail later. We need more clearly specified theories like this in polarization research.

Is affective polarization rooted in ideology, identity, or both? By using agent-based modeling in 11 datasets with N ~70,000, Jens Lange, Alex Koch, hansalves.bsky.social & myself investigate the underlying mechanisms of attitude formation in political contexts. Accepted at PSPB, preprint here ⬇️
